This is a 10* on COLORADO

The home team is 4-0 in this series, which is a matchup of arguably the two best teams in the league. Colorado and Vegas tied for the most points in the regular season. They were 1-2 in goal differential. Home ice being such an edge really shouldn’t shock any of us. Colorado is 26-4-2 at home. Vegas is 25-6-3. Now the series goes back to Denver. Guess who we’ll be playing? It is very hard to look past how good the Avalanche had been in the playoffs before dropping the last two games in Sin City. They won the first six games by a combined score of 30-10. They are 20-0-1 the last 21 home games which does include the four playoff wins. They beat Vegas 7-1 in Game 1 before squeaking out a 3-2 overtime victory in Game 2. The Avs top line struggled in Vegas, but had six goals and 24 shots in the first two games. Look for the home team trend to continue. Colorado has had just one three-game losing streak all season. Play on COLORADO
